1996 disco stopping - link lead
My 1996 disco stops for a short time and then starts again.
It's a Tdi with 300,000 klmI have changed the oil and filter every 5000 klm.
runs well ,plenty of power, smokes only on start up.
When it stops, the only light on the dash, is the oil light.
Can someone give me ideas ,on how to fix my problem. I have disconnected the after market turbo timer.
OK, so I got a "link lead" today as advised by a mechanic, but I can't figure out where it actually goes. Bought a manual and all...still can't find it. Any ideas??
Just an update, the link lead bypasses the immobiliser. It's a bugger to get at, it's under and behind the radio and heater controls. Thus far, the disco has run for 5 days without stopping, but this happened before when I changed the fuel filter. See what happens.
